Brayden Schenn could be the first player in this shortened season to be handed a suspension.

The Philadelphia Flyers forward will have a hearing with NHL head disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Wednesday for his hit on New Jersey Devils defenceman Anton Volchenkov.

Schenn appeared to leave his feet while delivering a hit on Volchenkov during the Devils’ 2-0 win on Tuesday night. Schenn was not penalized on the play.
